First We Take Manhattan

They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
For tryin' to change the system from within
I'm comin' now, I'm comin' to reward them
First we take Manhattan, and then we take Berlin

I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
I'm guided by the birthmark on my skin
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I'd really like to live beside you, baby
I love your body, your spirit and your clothes
But you see that line that's movin' through the station?
I told you (told you), I told you (told you), I told you I was one of those

I don't like your fashion business, mister
I don't like those drugs that make you thin
I don't like what happened to my sister
First we take Manhattan, and then we take Berlin

All the way
(Then we take Berlin)
Then we take Berlin
(Then we take Berlin)
(I don't like your fashion business, mister) I don't like it, you know it
(Then we take Berlin)
(I don't like these drugs that keep you thin) I don't like those drugs
Then we take Berlin
(Guided by a signal in the heavens)
Then we take Berlin
(Guided by the birthmark on my skin)
Then we take Berlin, yeah
